I've wanted to get GT3 running but the specs to get it smooth seem a lot higher than my lowly core 2 duo @ 3ghz... I would be interested to know how the PS2 emu runs for everyone

For everyone that's running the PS2 in emulation - what's it like and more importantly what's the spec of your machine?

It's not easy being green.
For me, It don't depend of configuration at 100%.
I follow this emulator since many years (and many computers) and it s always the same. Somes games will works at 80%, and only 90% 5 years later (with better machine) and other are incredibly slow even with better machine.
Don't take care at their compatibility list, it s a joke. For them a game at 20fps, full of glitch is a game playable if you can see the end game.
If you want to try a game, just type "name of game pcsx2" on youtube, you will have a video and the configuration used for this result.
The configuration is special too, each game have its own configuration (so hard to use in a front end).
ATM my game machine is an amd x4 740 with an old 9800 GTX ,4 M ram, and for exemple :
Shadow of collossus (The better game of PS2, since 5 years, peoples try to make this game working at 100%, some of them have made special pluggins just for this game) is playable, without glitch but with some slow-down, (in the ps2 too there is slow-down ^^ in this game). Even on my principal computer (6 month old) I can't play at this game at 100% speed.
Haunting ground work at 99%, just 1 / 2 glitchs in somes reflects on water.
Loney tune Trace work at 100 % but less fast than the original.
Sonic Heros a multiplayer sonic work at 100%
Ratchet and clank 3 Work at 100 %, full speed, but impossible to play because of graphics glitchs.
Champion of norrah Not working in hardware mode so too slow ^^
No logic in that, the better way is too see video on youtube to make an opinion. But now pcsx2 is open source so I think the progress will be faster.
It s really a good emulator, no bug, no crash, no problem, easily configurable, with lot of possibilities, It s really easy to change option to see the difference, or find help on the web. Rom are easy to find too.
But I hate their team ^^.
GT3 full speed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mb5Gfa6rdc but on a E8400 4.5Ghz (dual core, but I m not sure it s the real full speed ^^).

Yeah it's a great looking emulator - I might have to look into it more and not expect a 3Ghz dual core to render the high-CPU-intensive GT3 well.It s really a good emulator, no bug, no crash, no problem, easily configurable, with lot of possibilities, It s really easy to change option to see the difference, or find help on the web.

Ah such shame, but one day maybe.. Even though there are minor glitches it looks so smoothGT3 full speed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mb5Gfa6rdc but on a E8400 4.5Ghz (dual core, but I m not sure it s the real full speed ^^).
